And it raises different arguments, what with the city investing so much in downtown redevelopment . . . why do they want to follow me home.

"If we can't keep them downtown, what can we keep downtown?, " asked resident Susan Smith.

But the Reno Turf Club had little choice, but to move. Caught in the path of the train trench, its owners - the Cal Neva - worked out a condemnation agreement.

Now, partnering with the Eldorado, it wants to build a new Turf Club - with 250 slot machines, sports book, restaurants and ice cream parlor - near the intersection of McCarran & West Fourth Street.

They feel the city pledged to help, not hinder, its relocation.

"Allowing us to relocate is a simple matter of fairness," says Jeff siri of the Club Cal-Neva.

City officials were quick to say they agreed to help, but gave no carte blanche promises. And the council was wary of any policy changes that might open the door for other casinos in other neighborhoods.

They left things as they are.

So, the Turf Club will be seeking a special use permit and we will hear this debate again.

The next round is before the Regional Planning Commission on October 15th.

There are two other neighborhood casino proposals in the pipeline. One carries the unlimited gaming license of the Old Reno Casino . . . also condemned because of the train trench.

There are other areas already zoned for casino development. Why not relocate there?

A good question. Obviously they want to pick the best spot for their business. In the case of the Turf Club, they say the other locations are too expensive, mostly developed or already being used by the Cal Neva or Eldorado for other ventures.
